Decoherence-Suppressed Non-adiabatic Holonomic Quantum Computation

Nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation~(NHQC) provides an essential way to construct robust and high-fidelity quantum gates due to its geometric features. However, NHQC is more sensitive to the decay and dephasing errors than conventional dynamical gate since it requires an ancillary intermediate state. Here, we utilize the Hamiltonian reverse engineering technique to study the influence of the intermediate state-decoherence on the NHQC gate fidelity, and propose the novel schemes to construct the arbitrary single-qubit holonomic gate and nontrivial two-qubit holonomic gate with high fidelity and robustness to the decoherence. Although the proposed method is generic and can be applied to many experimental platforms, such as superconducting qubits, trapped ions, quantum dots, here we take nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center as an example to show that the gate fidelity can be significantly enhanced from 89\% to 99.6\% in contrast to the recent experimental NHQC schemes [Phys. Rev. Lett. 119, 140503 (2017); Nat. Photonics 11, 309 (2017); Opt. Lett. 43, 2380 (2018)], and the robustness against the decoherence can also be significantly improved. All in all, our scheme provides a promising way for fault-tolerant geometric quantum computation.

Topological optomechanical amplifier with synthetic $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry

We propose how to achieve synthetic $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry in optomechanics without using any active medium. We find that harnessing the Stokes process in such a system can lead to the emergence of exceptional point (EP), i.e., the coalescing of both the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of the system. By encircling the EP, both non-reciprocal optical amplification and chiral mode switching can be achieved. As a result, our synthetic $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric optomechanics works as a topological optomechanical amplifier. This provides a surprisingly simplified route to realize $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric optomechanics, indicating that a wide range of EP devices can be created and utilized for various applications such as topological optical engineering and nanomechanical processing or sensing.

Multiple-qubit Rydberg quantum logic gate via dressed-states scheme

We present a scheme to realize multiple-qubit quantum state transfer and quantum logic gate by combining the advantages of Vitanov-style pulses and dressed-state-based shortcut to adiabaticity (STA) in Rydberg atoms. The robustness of the scheme to spontaneous emission can be achieved by reducing the population of Rydberg excited states through the STA technology. Meanwhile, the control errors can be minimized through using the well-designed pulses. Moreover, the dressed-state method applied in the scheme makes the quantum state transfer more smoothly turned on or off with high fidelity and also faster than traditional shortcut to adiabaticity methods. By using Rydberg antiblockade (RAB) effect, the multiple-qubit Toffoli gate can be constructed under a general selection conditions of the parameters.

Distributed quantum information processing via single atom driving

We propose an unconventional scheme for quantum entangled state distribution (QESD) and quantum state transfer~(QST) based on a fiber-cavity-atom system, in which three atoms are confined, respectively, in three bimodal cavities connected with each other by optical fibers. The key feature of the scheme is the virtual excitation of photons, which yields QESD and QST between the two atoms in the edge-cavities conditioned on one-step operation only on the atom in the middle cavity. No actual operation is performed on the two atoms in the edge cavities throughout the scheme. Robustness of the scheme over operational imperfection and dissipation is discussed and the results show that system fidelity is always at a high level. Finally, the experimental feasibility is justified using laboratory available values.

Determining temperature and Rabi frequency regarding trapped ions in Doppler cooling: An analytic investigation

Doppler cooling with lasers is essential to ions' trapping and also a preliminary step towards achievement of ultracold ions. Due to lack of effective tools, experimentally monitoring the ions' temperature and the laser-ion coupling is difficult in Doppler cooling. Here we analytically explore the Doppler cooling process of trapped ions, exemplified by $^{40}$Ca$^{+}$, by solving the friction coefficient in the Doppler cooling with respect to a thermal bath, particularly, to a bath with large heating rate. We show four regions for cooling and heating induced by the three-level electromagnetically induced transparency and propose a practical method for measuring the Rabi frequency by the Doppler cooling window. In addition, the final temperature of the laser-cooled ions can be obtained analytically in the case of a weak thermal bath, whereas for the strong thermal bath this requires numerical treatment due to involvement of the Doppler shift and large Lamb-Dicke parameter. Our analytic results would help for understanding many experimental observations, such as configuration phase transition, phonon laser and thermodynamics regarding hot trapped ions.

An efficiently and tunable switch between slow- and fast-light in double mode with an optomechanical system

We study the dynamics of a driven optomechanical cavity coupled to a charged nanomechanical resonator via Coulomb interaction. We find the tunable switch between slow-and fast- light in double-mode can be observed from the output field by adjusting the laser-cavity detuning in this coupled system. Moreover, the requencies of signal light can be tuned by Coulomb coupling strength. The proposal may have potential application in optical communcation and nonlinear optics.

An efficient cooling of the quantized vibration by a four-level configuration

Cooling vibrational degrees of freedom down to ground states is essential to observation of quantum properties of systems with mechanical vibration. We propose two cooling schemes employing four internal levels of the systems, which achieve the ground-state cooling in an efficient fashion by completely deleting the carrier and first-order blue-sideband transitions. The schemes, based on the quantum interference and Stark-shift gates, are robust to fluctuation of laser intensity and frequency. The feasibility of the schemes is justified using current laboratory technology. In practice, our proposal readily applies to an nano-diamond nitrogen-vacancy center levitated in an optic trap or attached to a cantilever.
